Iran threatens to block additional energy export routes across West Asia post US strikes

Tehran/Washington, Jul 15 (UNI) Iran has threatened to block additional energy export routes across the region as the US launched a new wave of strikes against Iranian military targets.
The warning was issued by Iran's powerful paramilitary – theocratic guard, the IRGC, which declared that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until Washington halted what it described as "acts of aggression." It further warned that all other oil and gas export corridors serving the interest of Washington and its allies could be targeted.
The threat comes after the US military launched operations against Iranian targets on Wednesday, with CENTCOM announcing that it had successfully carried out drone, air and naval strikes after conducting another seven-hour operation overnight.
